Haven't seen that one. I wonder why they had to say "the director of Gladiator" instead of "that guy who made Alien in the first place", since we're talking so much about the possible links.

I noticed that, strange the didn't say from the director of Alien,
then mention Blade Runner, and then mention Gladiator if they're going
to mention those other films. Maybe they didn't want to make it too
obvious from the trailer that Prometheus is part of the Alien franchise.

From what I've read it does look like Scott and Co. are doing their best to avoid the question of whether it's an Alien prequal or not, despite the seemingly heavy connection between them.

The trailer is visually stunning. I hope the plot won't disappoint.

I've only ever seen Aliens and didn't like it, though.

What I'm really excited for is it's exploring the origin of the space jockey from the first alien and perhaps ties into the creation of the xenomorph. Yeah the graphics and effects have been stated to be quite incredible. I'm so pumped!

I would have liked it better if it hadn't had so many annoying characters in it. Which is why I prefer the first one where the only annoying character is Sigourney Weaver.

I dislike Sigourney Weaver. Actually I'm rerererererewatching the first Alien right now and she doesn't annoy me very much yet.  She's kinda cute actually

I'm quite disturbed by the fact that some people seem to believe that this movie will have a plot.
Come on, it's 2012.

Any series of images and sounds is a plot.

Well, I'm gonna watch this film. After Fincher's Girl with a Dragon Tattoo I can honestly say that this is a good year for movies.

I guess movies joins sports as our two major areas of contention. Getting excited about a Tarantino rip-off  .
I'm excited about The Dark Knight Rises but generally I don't geared up over movie releases. Prometheus does look interesting, though. |
What's a Tarantino rip-off?
